Middle School Teachers/Fellows @ Airlie

Airlie Gardens, in cooperation with the New Hanover County School System, is designing a series of science field activities for the middle schools involving water quality assessment. This project is being supported by a grant from the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust to New Hanover County. The GK-12 Fellows Program at UNCW has teamed with Airlie Gardens to help evaluate the science activities that are produced. On August 6, Airlie Gardens hosted a workshop for the 8th gradescience teachers and Fellows who are participating in the NSFGK-12 program to introduce them to the project and to demonstrate the activities that have been designed to date. The teachers and Fellows were highly complimentary of the activities, the quality of the science and the appropriateness of the activities for 8th grade students. During the course of the upcoming school year 8th gradescience students will visit Airlie Gardens to participate in these activities, collecting data and assessing temporal changes in water quality from various garden sites.
